More work on the new web site for my open source project.
hope to throw it open during the next week. Things seem
finally to be sorting themselves out.

Just read loic's article on SourceForge. I have
to say
that I agree wholeheartedly. I've watched SF since they
founded it and must say that I am happy neither with their
policies nor (over)regular maintenance cycle.

That said I am planning on listing my new project
on
SourceForge (but only as a placeholder for the real site).
I am undecided as to whether to host the project on savannah
or to use a few of my own conveniently deployed boxes. The
project as a whole does really need a few boxes for
development since the point is to tie together services on
multiple machines. It would be useful to provide such a
service to the other developers (and I am fairly sure that I
can find very cheap hosting for it).

My car (Hector, 1969 MGB Roadster, Snowberry
White) is
running beautifully after being tuned. Not having to cringe
every time the engine misfires means that I can finally
relax
and enjoy the ride. Going through London this weekend with
the windows open (but the top up unfortunately) I got a good
chance to hear the exhaust as it should be. Music to my
ears.
